Im stating that the bolts did not turn. Ive got alot of hours on this rig, Ive owned it for 11 years. What im saying is there enough slop between the frame and the engine to start an elongation process that loosens the bolts because the frame chafes elongates etc.and metal disappears. All my bolts were tabed. Ive got holes in the front frame bolts that have close to 1/8" clearance clean around the bolt. I put the reinforcement on in 2000 I built more of those (2) locking tabs for the fron bolts also, because I got tired of finding them loose.

Mine was so stiff it bent the handle. i tore into it about 5 years ago the linkage that needs to be loosend and lubed is on the left side under the pto handles. Take that side apart and start moving the handle and you will see where to loosen. Mine goes up and down with the push of a finger.

Yes it will! One strand of white ribbon tape 32" off the ground. The US gov gave me the tape and the charger to fence off my 4 acres. Then the Gov came along three years later and wanted me to buy the equipment. And I did.

Is there an adjustment on the switch. I pulled the two wires off the switch about two years ago and connected them together, I know I defeated the system But I dont hear anymore selenoid clicking, just the starter turning over.

I have a cadplan backhoe and for the amount of money I have in it, I feel it works great. Its small #608 (could be wrong with the number) but as a landscaper I can dig holes to plant trees.

Have you changed the fuel filter and cleaned the bowl also while doing this look for water condensation I would change fuel filters and add some time of fuel additive.

Good evening chief, I dont have any experience with those, but my 10 year old daughter has been carrying a 223 youth rifle in Maine this hunting season and she is shooting a winchester 223 64 GR. power point. Her rifle does not shoot them good, fact is the hole is oblong at 50yds. However the goup is 3" at that distance. I measured the twist on her rifle and it is 1 in 13 not good for heavy bullets. I must admit we had alot of fun with this rifle prior to hunting season with bullets in the 50 gr. range, as far as target practice go.

Anyone have experience with these cartridges

I got my tractor back last night 527.00 for the injector pump to be rebuilt. 3 hrs from the dealer for his mechanics time. The pump was a total rebuild. The rack had stuck in the open position and the selenoid could not pull it back. However when I did shut the fuel valve off, The lack of fuel some how pulled it to the closed position. I guess it was just worn out and was sticking. Im greatfull it happened at home, home is where I rarely use my tractor.

Larry: I dont recall the size of the bolt You can always pull out another one and take it to a fastner supply, which I recommend in order to get the proper Grade. The dealer charges alot for bolts.
